I found this song when it first came out and it always made me think of the beach. I went to the beach for the first time and listened to this song while it was storming at night. Something I want to feel again. I adore this song.
The night we broke out Neighborhood penitentiary We drove to the coast and Laughed for a century You sunk your feet In the empty beach And took off all your clothes Said "I'm never going home now Who's gonna tell me no" Freedom ain't it frightening Like swimming in the lightening Deadly but delighting Lips against the sky now So bold You told me "It always tastes good When I choose it for myself When there's fire in my woods It burns me and nobody else I know I fuck up But as long as I show up It'll always taste good" I woke up in the waves Listening to your laughter The Odyssey sixth chapter You were still naked Impressionist painting You came to me Said run away with me Drew lines on my cheeks With the mud from the ground Whispered "Paradise ain't lost it's found" (Whatever) Freedom ain't it frightening No one to make you do the right thing What's the right thing
The comment section for all these songs makes me so happy because it's always full of people who listen to the same bands that no one else I know listens to
Lyrics is dope. Special mentions to the lines : 'The Odyssey's sixth chapter' , 'impressionist painting' and 'paradise ain't lost its found'. Some really deep meanings to those lines.
I'm going to blast this in my car while driving a thousand miles per hour in the middle of the night, smoking a cigarette and a person i love sitting by my side. So chill
I get to see these guys with Young The Giant in February. I just found them. Totally taken aback by their amazing mixture of sounds! They are just so very unique! I love to explore music and it's very rare to happen upon something as different as their sound is.
This song has always spoken to me on a different level. My woods are lonely but at least I don’t burn other things with me, I taste my own choices, that’s why I have to choose them for myself. 🙌 I almost never make comments but this is one of the few songs I’ve connected to over and over and in a positive way. 💕

I would love to see the music video for this! I can just see it. A black and white video of people at the beach and driving around in cars to different beaches because of getting kicked off the different beach spots.
The beat at "when I choose it for myself" sounds better in 1.25 speed than normal but other than that it sounds a little bit like pots, pans and keys clanging and jiggling...too much noise and static. With that speed it kind of removes the brooding element of the song lol but thanks for the suggestion, it was interesting :D
For real, I love how it sounds and my perspective on the lyrics when it says words is beautiful I think, was so sad when I realised I was wrong the whole time ha
more seriously, this is not my aesthetic. no tension. too chill. but, there's at least _some_ attention to detail, and that's a rare thing within this aesthetic that is not mine. i wouldn't count on them getting too big as they seem geared towards a generation that is now in adulthood and can no longer credibly claim the title of "youth" - that is, kids nowadays are going to hear their parents or their aunts and uncles in this - but i will acknowledge that it would have been better off on a larger stage, some time in the middle of the last decade. they would have been a great opening act for the animal collective...
